<em>The correct option is</em> D.   The initial momentum of the blue and green train combined during the collision is 200 kgm/s.

<h3>Initial momentum of the blue and green train</h3>

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum as follows;

Pi = m1v1 + m2v2

where;

  • m1 is mass of blue train
  • m2 is mass of green train
  • v1 is velocity of blue train
  • v2 is velocity green train
  • Pi is the initial momentum of the two trains

Pi = (50 x 4) + 30(0)

Pi = 200 kgm/s

Thus, the initial momentum of the blue and green train combined is 200 kgm/s.

Student one used bowling ball A in a bowling game against Student 2, who used bowling ball B. Use Newton’s Three Laws of Motion
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Newton’s Three Laws of Motion has a great impact.

Explanation:

Newton’s Three Laws of Motion has a great impact on the bowling game for the 2 students. When the student one throw ball to the student 2, the ball decrease its speed due to the gravity and opposing air. If these forces are removed from the system the ball will continue its motion till another force is applied on it. When the force applied to the ball it produces acceleration in the direction to the applied force. If the ball touches the ground it bounce back with equal force which is a reaction of the ground.

A bullet with mass 1.0kg and velocity 180 m/s is brought to rest in 0.02 s by a sandbag.assuming constant acceleration in the sa
kotykmax [81]
Hello
The bullet is moving by uniformly accelerated motion.
The initial velocity is v_i=180~m/s, the final velocity is v_i=0~m/s, and the total time of the motion is \Delta t=0.02~s, so the acceleration is given by
a= \frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t} = -9000~m/s^2 
where the negative sign means that is a deceleration.
Therefore we can calculate the total distance covered by the bullet in its motion using
S=v_i t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 = 180~m/s \cdot 0.02~s + \frac{1}{2}(-9000~m/s^2)(0.02~s)^2=1.8~m
So, the bullet penetrates the sandbag 1.8 meters.

A 43.9-g piece of copper (CCu= 0.385 J/g°C) at 135.0°C is plunged into 254 g of water at 39.0°C. Assuming that no heat is lost t
Semmy [17]

Answer:

T = 40.501\,^{\textdegree}C

Explanation:

The interaction of the piece of copper and water means that the first one need to transfer heat in order to reach a thermal equilibrium with water. Then:

-Q_{out,Cu} = Q_{in,H_{2}O}

After a quick substitution, the expanded expression is:

-(43.9\,g)\cdot (0.385\,\frac{J}{g\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} )\cdot (T-135^{\textdegree}C) = (254\,g)\cdot (4.187\,\frac{J}{g\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} )\cdot (T-39\,^{\textdegree}C)

-16.902\,\frac{J}{^{\textdegree}C}\cdot (T-135^{\textdegree}C) = 1063.498\,\frac{J}{^{\textdegree}C} \cdot  (T-39^{\textdegree}C)

43758,192\,J = 1080.4\,\frac{J}{^{\textdegree}C}\cdot T

The final temperature of the system is:

T = 40.501\,^{\textdegree}C
